I am looking over the dark expansive sea

For the glorious new light of the boy child

The shadows are much warmer now

But there still nothing to be seen

The serene petals of the last late roses

Litter the shore bidding the hours a fond farewell

Oh gentle creator let your star brighten the shy night sky

I am ready to plunge into the deep chilled sea

Where I will celebrate his birth

With all your hidden creatures

It is now time to kindle our torches
